SimpleAir initially sued Google to court after alleging that both Google Cloud Messaging ( GCM ) and Android Cloud to Device Messaging ( C2DM ) services violated the patent. These are Google services that help users send instant notifications to many other popular applications like Twitter, Gmail and Facebook.

Google is not the first company to be in trouble with SimpleAir. Microsoft, Apple and Blackberry all have to accept licensing agreements and pay compensation after lawsuits. After a ruling in favor of SimpleAir in a lawsuit with Google, there was a further trial to decide how much Google took over SimpleAir and how much they had to compensate.

However, SimpleAir has demanded $ 125 million in damages due to damage caused by Google. Google also claimed that the lawsuit had been wronged on all matters. It is possible that the number of 125 million is not much compared to other patent cases like Apple-Samsung, but this is not a small amount and Google will not be able to accept.

The biggest problem here is that SimpleAir may be just a litigation because this technology can be found in most large companies like Google. SimpleAir has officially introduced itself on the home page as " intellectual property-licensed technology company and entitled to the invention of wireless content transmission, mobile applications and instant messaging market. By SimpleAir's invention has granted licenses for many leading businesses including Apple. "In total, SimpleAir is holding 8 licensed patents and a number of others are pending approval.

The problem of Google and other large companies has raised public opinion about SimpleAir. Are they businesses that are demanding legal rights for their inventions or are they just using tricks to raise money from other big fish in the technology world?
